Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 207, 186, dated August20, 1878; application tiled August 2, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LEICESTER l?. KING and ARTHUR M. WHITE, ofCincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented anew and valuable Improvement in Motive Powers; and we do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of theconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawlngs, making a part of this specification, and to theletters and gures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l ofthe drawings is a representation of a plan view of myinvention, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly insection. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views, partly 1n section, showing themanner of connecting the frames to the bed-plate.

This invention has relation to that class of motors operated by springsor weights, and used for the purpose of running sewing-machines and forchurning, or operating ily-fans, pumping water; &c.

The object of the present invention is to construct a motor of the abovecharacter in a manner that will render the same not v only simple in itsparts, but perfect in its operation, and greatly lessening the cost intheir manufacture, thereby bringing them within the reach of every onerequiring such a device, as will be hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents a skeleton bed-plate, of anysuitable metal, secured to a base, B. To each side of the plate A is aframe, C, each frame forming supports for the several operating parts ofthe motor. Each of the frames G is formed with a flanged plate, a,having an inclined end, b, which abuts against acorrespondingly-inclined shoulder, c, upon the plate A, and secured tothe plate by suitable screw-bolts d. The frames C, directly opposite theilanged plates a, have inclined or curved tongues e, which tit withininclined openings f formed in the plate A.

Journaled within the frames C is a shaft, g, carrying gear-wheels 7L i,the latter meshing in the teeth upon the wheel j, while the formerengages with the teeth upon the wheel lr. The shaft l, to which thegear-wheel j is keyed,

4 carries a conical drum, D, which loosely fits thereon, and is providedat its smaller end with handles E for operating the same. The drum D isof tapering or conical form for the purpose of equalizing the power inchurning, as, when the cream gets denser, the power is increased. Thedrum D, at its larger end, is formed with a chamber, m, for thereception of a coiled spring, n, which passes around the shaft l, oneend of said spring bearing against a washer, o, rigidly secured to theshaft, and the opposite end against a plate, p. The plate p is formedwith ratchet-teeth q, which engage With teeth r projecting from the axisof the gear-wheel k. The inner end of the shaft l has its bearin g in ashort box, s, formed with a bracket, F. This bracket, with the box s, iscast in one piece, the upper part thereof being bolted or otherwisesuitablyconnected to the plate C at its top, forming a boxing for ashort shaft, t, which carries the wheel j and the crank-wheel G. Thebracket F, at its lower end, is secured to the inner side of the plate Cby bolt and nut u, said bolt passing through an elongated slot in theyend of the bracket to admit of its adjustability. The crank-wheel G isformed with an elongated slot, o, through which passes a screw-bolt, H,and to which is secured one end oi' a crankarm, I. This bolt has securedupon its threaded end a clamping-nut, J, formed with a rib or flangefitting within the slot c, so that the screw-bolt H, with the crank-arm,can be Vadjusted and held at any desired. distance from the periphery oraxis of the crank-wheel. A guide-plate, K, with right-angled arms L, isbolted to one of the plates C, the arms L being formed with suitableopenings for receiving the vertical rod or shaft M of the churn-dasher,pump-rod, &c. This plate K, with its arms L, forms guides for both thetop and bottom of the rod, thereby admitting the position of the motorto be varied.

Having now fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire tosecure to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The tapering or inclined drum D, provided with handles E, said drumformed with a chamber for the reception of a coil-spring, n, for keepingthe ratchet-teeth q engaged with the ratchet r ofthe wheel j,substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The drum l), spring n, and ratchet-teeth q,

together, as described, in combination With'the adjustable bracket F,formed with journal-box s, substantially as and for the purpose specied.

In testimony that We claim the above We have hereunto subscribed ournames in the presence of two witnesses.
